Omakase at Sushi Lin is a beloved Good Friday tradition that never ceases to amaze! The attention to detail, precise craftsmanship, inventiveness, and outstanding balance of the sushi is superb - from old favorites like the toro with uni, caviar & gold leaf, to new creations like baby white shrimp. read more

We went here for a nice little date night and had a great time! Small space, but it's cozy, not crowded. We got the sushi dinner and a few different rolls. This place definitely specializes in sashimi and sushi. We thought the sushi dinner was a great deal, since it includes miso soup and a roll, but we realized that we aren't super into the different types of fish. We prefer the rolls - and the rolls were indeed great! read more

Wandered in during a weekday night and it was certainly already busy but we were able to get a table easily. I ordered the miso soup, the spicy salmon and shrimp tempura roll. Fish was all delicious and the soup hit the spot since it had been getting colder. Would love to come back and try their omakase. One of the better sushi spots in park slope. read more

We came here on a Thursday night for a birthday dinner. We made a reservation beforehand for 7:15PM but could've walked in. I don't recommend it though because shortly after we were seated, it did get very crowded. 4/5 ordered the full omakase ($120) which came with 3 appetizers, 1 sashimi plate, 9 pieces of sushi and 1 hand roll and dessert. Since there were a few dishes I didn't like in the full omakase, I opted for the sushi dinner. Overall, it was a very relaxed setting and I would recommend coming here. The fish was fresh and the service was fast. read more

Made a reservation for a Saturday night and had a great dinner here! My boyfriend and I each ordered the sushi dinner (sashimi + roll + miso soup) and it was really good. Standouts were some incredible tuna and salmon. Overall I thought it was a great value and I will return for their omakase at the bar. 4.5 stars. read more

It's a nice sushi spot and I may probably come back once. I liked the atmosphere inside. It's cool that you can sit at the counter and watch people cooking for you, but you need to make a reservation beforehand. It's good that they have a different sized Omakase, so you can still enjoy it even if you are short on budget or not that hungry, it's just good to have options. Unfortunately, all my Omakase were made with lots of wasabi. Wasabi is usually added to Omakase, but in this case it was so much that I couldn't actually taste the fish. All in all, the fish was fresh, the atmosphere was nice, the service was ok. read more

I've heard that Sushi Lin was the best sushi in prospect heights and ... the rumor is true, y'all. Wanted a low-key bday celebration this year for my birthday tonight and Sushi Lin didn't disappoint. The ambience gives off local neighborhood restaurant but the food is where the magic lies. We started with two regular sushi rolls: spicy salmon and spicy scallop roll. Both were impeccably fresh and mimicked the sort of freshness I experienced when traveling through Japan. The fish is melt in your mouth delicious. For dinner, I got a sushi combo dinner that came with sashimi, 5 piece sushi and a roll, all chosen by the sushi chefs. This was divine as well. The menu is simple. But every piece of fish I had was seriously bursting with flavor. So if you're a fan of high-quality sushi and sashimi, you'll love it here. read more

My full omakase experience at Sushi Lin was nothing short of amazing! For $120, the tasting included three appetizers, one sashimi plate, nine pieces of sushi, one handroll, and a dessert. The place appears to be a neighborhood favorite because it was fairly busy on a Tuesday night. Glad we made a reservation at the sushi bar. I enjoyed every item from the tasting and that doesn't happen often. The quality of the fish was fresh, with toppings that complemented each piece quite well. Some honorable mentions include the Kumamoto oyster, hamachi with shishito peppers, wagyu with uni and caviar, truffle salmon, botan ebi, and A5 wagyu. The tofu pudding with brown sugar was a great way to end the meal. Staff was friendly and attentive. Highly recommend! read more

Fantastic sushi and sashimi omakase - kind of a lowkey spot but that's exactly what i was looking for. I also got the tuna dinner since i love fatty tuna and that hit the spot. It was my mom's birthday so they brought us a hojicha(?) bread pudding that tasted amazing. Super sweet and loved the overall dinner read more

When my dad came to visit from out of town I took him here and I'm so glad that I did. We both got the sushi dinner where the chef chooses which nigiri to serve and everything was absolutely delicious and so incredibly fresh. The restaurant was also very lovely and it was really pleasant being seated at the sushi bar. read more

Wonderful experience thanks to the chef! I really enjoyed our pieces of sushi and the delicious appetizers. Unfortunately I have to dock off a few points because of personal experience. The beginning was a little rocky. I'm sure this wasn't too big of a deal but we came for our reservation at the sushi bar and we were the first ones at the restaurant. It was completely empty except for us, but they insisted that we sit in the very back where nobody could see us and it was very dark. After asking if we'd be able to be seated at the bar for our omakase, they seemed apprehensive but let us sit there with a time limit. In the end, I did enjoy the food a lot! I just didn't feel the most welcomed at the beginning. read more

Feasted on their Full Omakase. Memorable for its thoughtful progression. I've had a lot of omakase & I was delighted to find a number of bites truly unique and innovative. The Chef & staff were fantastic. Great Sake menu. I got a picture of everything except a salad, one salmon sushi with tomato & the final hand roll of tuna with (I think) pickles. I tried to label the pictures as best I could, but it really was the various finishing sauces that set the meal apart. Everything was obviously very fresh, and the chef nailed texture temperature & flavors. I thought it was absolutely worth the price. It is the best Omakase I've had in Brooklyn. My favorite in NYC is Tanoshi on the UES, this came very close. read more

I get the hype. Sushi is super fresh and delicious here, and decently priced (not cheap nor expensive). If I lived closer this would probably be my designated sushi spot. I've only tried the sushi dinner ($37) but would definitely come back to try more of the menu. read more

Super cute sushi place we just happened to stumble upon in Brooklyn, this is the best sushi I have ever had. It makes my favorite sushi place in Texas look like garbage. The staff were very friendly. This is the perfect place to have a full on fancy sushi experience, the omakase experience was worth every penny. I think about this place all the time and if I ever go back to NY/Brooklyn I will go here again. read more

Absolutely loveeed Sushi Lin!! Got reservation for a party of 2 on a Friday for 6:30pm. We were seated right away. It is a very small restaurant and you would not expect much by the looks of it. We went to celebrate our birthday. We both got the full omakase for $100. This comes with: 4 appetizer samplers: - 3 types of oysters - Yuzu red snapper sashimi - Kanpachi jalapeno - Squid, tuna, hamachi 8pc Sushi + 1 Handroll - uni toro toast - kanpachi - uni - tuna truffle - seared otoro, uni, caviar - botan - king salmon with charred tomato - tuna & scallion handroll - hokkaido scallop My two favorites were the seared otoro topped with uni & caviar, and the tuna truffle! We each got an additional piece of both!! Everything was fresh and high quality. Dessert - whiskey cake with green tea ice cream. Usually it's sesame pudding but they graciously accommodated my sesame allergy and substituted it with whiskey cake instead No doubt would come back again for a special occasion. Although there wasn't much interaction with the chefs, I didn't mind it all too much because I really enjoyed the flavors of the sushi. However, if you're looking for an interactive vibe, go to "Sushi on Me" in Jackson heights queens, ny. read more

Even though this place has blown up on Yelp, I still consider it a bit of a sleeper hit! Sushi Lin is a small unpretentious sushi bar that manages to marry serious A grade flavor. The quality for the price you pay is honestly the biggest bang for your buck out here. Go for the Omakase- you won't regret it! You can't go wrong with the menu either and definitely make a reservation due to this place being so popular now! read more

This was my first visit to Sushi Lin on Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn. It was a Birthday dinner courtesy of my sister, and it couldn't have been better. There were three of us and we all chose the $70 sushi omakase, which comes with ten pieces of sushi and a handroll, as well as a bowl of miso soup. We all decided to start with an appetizer before diving into the omakase and chose three different things. We got the Yuzu Tai, which is thinly sliced Japanese red snapper w/yuzu and white soy sauce (I know, white soy sauce? Trust me, it's a real thing), the Kanpachi Jalapeño, which is thinly sliced amberjack w/yuzu koshō (a fermented paste made from chili peppers, yuzu peel and salt), and finally, the Uni Tasting, which included sea urchin from Hokkaido, Maine, and Santa Barbara. Of the three I actually liked the Kanpachi Jalapeño the best. The Uni Tasting was interesting, but since uni is included with the omakase I'd choose something else next time. We were seated at the sushi bar, so the omakase was served one piece at a time. I got the impression that the omakase served to people at the tables got their sushi in batches of two or three pieces. I definitely recommend eating at the sushi bar. The pacing is better. I won't review each piece or this already long review would turn into War and Peace, but I will tell you what was served. In order: Red snapper w/sea salt and lemon Chūtoro tuna King salmon w/seared tomato Bluefin tuna w/sautéed mushrooms, truffles and truffle butter Baby yellowtail w/ginger, scallions and fried garlic chips Botan ebi Hokkaido scallop w/yuzu zest, lemon and sea salt Seared otoro tuna w/Santa Barbara uni, beluga caviar and gold leaf Hokkaido uni w/wasabi soy Chopped chūtoro tuna and onions w/Maine uni on a thin toast square Lastly, a hand roll of chopped chūtoro, pickled radish and shiso leaf. I also ordered a piece of chopped eel and avocado sushi, which sounded intriguing. Literally, everything was excellent so it's hard to pick any real standouts, but having said that, the king salmon w/seared tomato is a signature item, and worth trying even if you don't get the omakase, and the seared otoro tuna w/Santa Barbara uni, beluga caviar and gold leaf was decadent and incredible. Also, the handroll, while not the most visually exciting item, was one of our group's favorites because of the high-quality nori that really elevated all the ingredients. The service is friendly and solicitous, and we never felt rushed. We especially appreciated the sushi chef explaining each course. It made each morsel that much more special. The restaurant itself is on the small side and reservations are a must. With all the sushi restaurants in Brooklyn you will never run out of choices, but if traditional sushi is your thing Sushi Lin is an omakase bargain that will delight your palate and your senses. read more

Overdue review but Sushi Lin is one of my favorite omakase spots within reasonable pricing and def one of my go to's. I believe premium omakase is $100 and was enough for me to walk out full. The interior is basic so don't expect too much but the service has always been great. Chef Lin and the other chefs are super nice and it seems like there are quite a few regulars at this spot. Looking forward to trying the new Soho location! read more

We were excited to try Sushi Lin for their omakase options and made a reservation fairly easily 1.5 weeks ahead. We tried to walk in last year, but they were fully booked, so we came prepared this time. It's very casual inside, more like a local/neighborhood spot! We were seated at the sushi counter, and I like that not everyone in your party has to order the same sushi set. I opted for the sushi omakase $70, my bf got the sushi & sashimi omakase $90, and my brother got the full omakase $120. TBH, I think you can actually just getaway with the first 2 sets. The full omakase didn't seem as worth it to us, but I'm glad we tried all 3 to compare! The dessert at the end of the full set was SO good, I would definitely just order that a la carte. The bread pudding was perfectly warm and sweet with the cold ice cream on top. If we came back or ordered takeout, I would definitely try the sushi bar entrees, which seem like a great deal read more

Sushi Lin is a small elegant space where you will feel comfortable at a table or at the sushi bar. The quality of their sushi is amazing. This neighborhood has stiff competition in this regard, and we keep finding ourselves back here. If you want to treat yourself, get any of the omakase options - over the years we've done a few and we've always come away happy. But don't think you have to order one to have a great meal, even their standard sushi/sashimi dinners are excellent. The staff pays very close attention to detail. They know everything about the fish and pay close attention to your allergies and needs. Every time we go we get exceptional, professional, and attentive service. If you go once, I'm sure you'll want to come back. read more

TLDR: really amazing quality sushi in a no-frills, casual, sushi restaurant with excellent service. My boyfriend and I made a same day reservation for a Sunday at 8pm. All the counter seats were taken, but the dining room had a few tables open during the night. SETTING: The ambiance is very casual with an omakase counter and ability to order omakase in the dining room that is connected and has 5 or more tables. There are about 10 seats at the counter where you can watch the chefs prepare sushi. We came for a Sunday night dinner and it was perfectly low key with families, date nights, friends catching up. FOOD: we had the 10 piece and hand roll omakase and an appetizer of sliced yellowtail. The yellowtail was good but nothing to write home about. The OMAKASE THO. I knew when the first three pieces came out (including salmon with charred tomato that was the best piece of sushi I've had in awhile and an o toro that simply melted in my mouth), that this would be an amazing dinner. I was not disappointed in any piece of sushi that we ate. Each one was amazing and expertly topped with things like truffle, caviar, Hokkaido uni, gold flakes, that only enhanced the flavor of each dish. We kept looking at each other and exclaiming how happy we were to finally find an excellent omakase near us in Brooklyn. SERVICE: service was excellent here and they had a lot of people working. This meant a different waiter was taking our order or refilling our water or bringing us food each time- they were very attentive and around just enough when we needed them! I'm sad I didn't get to sit at the counter to watch the chefs in action but next time! VERDICT: I already can't wait to come back and bring people here (and next time I'll be getting the sushi that has more than 10 pieces). REALLY great meal!! read more

I have been meaning to try this place for a while but often they are booked up for dinner. Finally made it there and it was definitely worth it. Staff is very nice place is small but cute. We sat by the sushi bar and could tell these guys were pros. Fish was very fresh. Prices are reasonable. I loved the choice of dinner combos. Made it easy to choose. Also got a few side rolls. Everything was delicious. Especially enjoyed the beer Kagua beer which is hard to find. Would love to do the Omakase next time. read more

Horribly overpriced and overrated by others. $75 for two dishes for takeout? And everything was tiny. No thank you.

I guess I've eaten fast food sushi near Nostrand Ave for far too long and I forgot what really good rolls, really good ginger, really tasty sashimi and soy sauce that was so tasty I had to no lie, put that little serving bowl to my lips and slurp! The restaurant was perfectly located on a quiet block, we found parking right away and inside the service was great from the point of entry, throughout our meal AND leaving. Shoutout to the hostess for recommending her favorite candies from the jar in the front. I really appreciated my dining experience and you should Go Here!!! read more

Had an AMAZING dinner at sushi lin the other night. I ordered the sushi dinner plate and every piece was absolutely amazing it blew me away. Price point is great for how high quality the fish is. Our server was so sweet and great at checking in throughout the meal and the inside was very cute and comfortable. Great for more intimate dinners - I could actually hear myself talk! Also such quick service. For dessert I was surprised with a suuuuper tasty bread pudding and green tea ice cream. I was celebrating a belated bday and this dessert truly made the night for me. I'll be back soon! read more

I've been coming to Sushi Lin for years and usually love the warm, lively vibe--especially when Wilson's around chatting with guests. Came in this past Friday night and he wasn't there, and it just felt a bit off. The servers didn't really talk with anyone, so the energy wasn't the same. Sushi was still great would definitely come back, but I missed that usual spark. read more

Not sure what the fuss is about. The new trend to save the restaurant money is to cut the pieces tiny. Everything was mediocre and the staff doesn't know what it means to greet and make you feel welcome. Overpriced hot sake. I deducted from tip for that. Blah ! read more

Super fresh and delicious sushi at a reasonable price. I didn't have a reservation but was able to get a table as a walk-in around 6pm on a Sunday. The place was pretty busy so I do recommend making a reservation, especially if you want to sit at the sushi counter. I ordered the sushi omakase which came with 10 pieces of sushi and 1 hand roll. Every option was unique and served in a reasonable time frame. To be honest I was still a little hungry upon finishing the meal so I would recommend ordering some appetizers if you show up with an empty stomach. Overall a really good meal that I would recommend for all sushi lovers. read more

Wow amazing full course omakase. The price was $125 for the full. So delicious each and every piece was so yummy. I love how thoughtful the chefs were in picking what paired well together. The uni was so good from here and the best I've ever had. Def recommend sitting at the bar so the chefs can explain each piece. Only downfall is you have to reserve ahead. read more

At a time when Omakases are incredibly on trend, Sushi Lin serves high quality sushi that you'd expect to see in much pricier and more hyped restaurants. Sushi Lin is just a regular sushi place that just happens to serve some of the best sushi I've ever had. The restaurant is unassuming and pretty intimate. The service is great, there were about 4-5 servers and all were attentive. You could tell they were having fun as they'd hang around the bar and wait until a patron needed them. They serve 4 different kinds of Omakases at different price points. They also have other traditional combos, rolls, sashimi, and dons on their menu. Highly recommend getting a couple of appetizers to go with your meal, we went with tako sunomono and ebi shumai. Both were delicious and half the fun in this restaurant is seeing how they plate the dishes. We also enjoyed the sake that our server recommended. I will obviously be back as this place stands out against all the Omakase noise. read more

One of the worst omakase I've ever had. Food was very fishy, not fresh at all and when brought up to the staff they brushed it off.

This small sushi restaurant on Flatbush is unassuming from the outside, and even the inside; however, it truly shines in terms of both the fish quality and the creative additions and accompaniments. We got the table omakase and truly loved every bite that we had. In particular, my favorite bite was a piece of salmon nigiri that had cooked tomato on top of it. I never would have dreamed of this pairing but it complimented the fish incredibly well. I've eaten at dozens of sushi restaurants and Sushi Lin shines among (and in some cases brighter then) those that have Michelin Stars that I have been to. Highly recommend! read more

Amazing omakase here with great value. We did the $65 for 10 pieces and one hand roll. ALL the pieces were fantastic and the chef was very knowledgeable about fish. I asked him what the difference in tuna was and he took time to pull out his Handy book and showed us the different parts of the tuna. Needless to say, food was amazing and service was good. Also they give a buttload of ginger. Already made another rezzi to go :) read more
